Chapter 17: First Visit
Nalan Jinnian watched the little hand holding his big hand while they ran all the way down the mountain. At this time, his unconscious hand seemed to feel warm.
He allowed her to drag him forward.
Wen Nuan pulled Nalan Jinnian and ran to the foot of the mountain in one breathe. Then she let go of his hand and slumped over, panting with her hands on her knees.
Wen Nuan was exhausted, so she just sat on the ground leaning against a tree.
In contrast, Nalan Jinnian was calm and relaxed, and there was no chaos in his breathing.
Nalan Jinnian looked at Wen Nuan's flushed faced, panting as hard as a cow, and felt that her body was really too weak: "Are you all right?"
The clear and magnetic male voice is like a clear spring flowing through the heart in summer, refreshing people's spirits.
Wen Nuan realized, she also pulled him down the mountain!
There is absolutely no need for this!
Wen Nuan didn’t care that she could hardly breathe. She sat up straight. In order to conceal her own confusion, she said solemnly: “It’s okay - cough cough - do you want to sit at my house? I’ll take your pulse and see how you are responding to the medicine. Have you found it to be effective?"
"It's alright." Or maybe her medicine really worked, he thought of the tingling sensation in his right hand just now.
Wen Nuan: "..."
She thought he would refuse.
She was just being polite.
But forget it, she will have to go up the mountain every day to help him. Now she can just take him home. When the family sees him, she has an excuse.
So Wen Nuan brought people home.
Fortunately, her family lives at the end of the village, and there is a mountain not far behind. No one can see them.
When they arrived at her house, the family had not yet returned. Wen Nuan opened the courtyard door: "This is my house, please come in."
Nalan Jinnian gracefully raised his foot and walked in.
He couldn't help but look around. This was his first time walking into this kind of bamboo farmyard.
In the house, the courtyard walls are made of bamboo, and the ground is fresh yellow mud.
Everything looks so new, even the bamboo is still green.
"Newly moved in?" He remembered that at the foot of this mountain there used to be a straw hut.
"Well, it's been a few days since we moved in." Wen Nuan held out a bamboo chair beside the wood table in the yard: "Master, please sit down."
Now there are only two rooms built, both of which are used as bedrooms. It is really not suitable for entertaining guests. He can only sit in the yard. Anyway, he should be leaving soon.
Wen Nuan turned around to pour him water.
Nalan Jinnian sat down smoothly, with one hand casually resting on the table. His face was clear, cold and arrogant. The aura he gave off was innately noble.
With this posture, one did not know if he thought he was sitting on a dragon chair instead of a bamboo chair.
The big bad wolf deliberately jumped onto the chair next to him and sat down.
Wen Nuan came out with two bowls of water. Looking at the person and the wolf, with these postures she felt they had taken this small farmyard for the Golden Temple.
She was silent, however, as she walked over to set the two bowls of water in front of them: "Master, please drink this water. I can only be rude and offer you this. There is no tea in my house."
Guests must have tea when they come. She has no tea at home, so she can only give him a bowl of water.
Wen Nuan feels that he should not be able to drink this simple water, but it is his business whether he drinks or not, and he cannot be rude.
Nalan Jinnian looked at the coarse porcelain bowl filled with crystal clear water. The workmanship of the bowl was very rough, but it could be seen that it was also very clean.
He is accustomed to drinking tea. He has never tried to drink clear water, and has never tried to drink water from a bowl, but he still picked it up with his beautiful hand casually, and drank the water in the bowl without any haste. He drank until there was nothing left, and then put down the bowl.
Wen Nuan: "..."
Wen Nuan was so shocked that she didn't know how to react. Is he so thirsty? With such a large bowl of water, there is not a single drop left!
The big bad wolf also drank the water in the bowl.
Nalan Jinnian looked at her stupidly staring at himself. Does he still need to comment after drinking it? He said: "The water is sweet."
The big bad wolf nodded and flicked his tail: 'It was sweet indeed.'
Wen Nuan: "..."
"Uh, this is mountain spring water. It is a bit sweet, do you want more?"
Nalan Jinnian shook his head: "No, thank you."
Drinking a whole bowl of water, he should be full!
The two were silent for a while. Wen Nuan was depressed: Don’t you know how to leave?
Someone is totally unaware and comfortable.
"Let me take your pulse!" After taking his pulse, I can rush to send him away. Wen Nuan always felt that his presence was rather imposing, which made people feel too awkward.
"Okay." Nalan Jinnian put his left hand on the shabby but clean wooden table.
Sitting down next to him, Wen Nuan placed her hand on his pulse, and assessed it seriously.
Nalan Jinnian looked at the pale, skinny hand, with fingertips resting on his veins, her fingers cold.
This girl is too weak and skinny.
He thought of the news that Lin Xing had found. She was a born in Wenjia village with congenital deficiency and was weak and sickly. She was called a plague star and a short-lived species by the villagers. And because she fell into the water a few days ago, her condition worsened and she was about to die. Old Man Wen's wife was worried that her grandson's luck would be affected. The family was driven out of the house by his second wife and lived in this newly built bamboo house.
A person who has been in bed all year round and can't even cure her own body, how could she detoxify himself? And you even know rough jadeite? Nalan Jinnian pondered thoughtfully.
At this time, Wen Nuan retracted her hand and interrupted his thoughts: "The medicine is correct, and the remaining toxin has cleared a lot. Continue to drink this medicine for three days, and I will start acupuncture for you tomorrow."
"Okay." Nalan Jinnian put away his thoughts, and he took another look at the bamboo house. This bamboo house will face wind from all directions in winter, how can people live?
Wen Nuan, seeing this person without any intention of getting up to leave, said: "If Master doesn't dislike it, just have a casual meal here! The big bad wolf and the little black eagle have brought a lot of prey."
Nalan Jinnian was about to refuse, but the big bad wolf nodded like he was pounding garlic, and then nodded violently at himself.
Nalan Jinnian: "..."
Da Hui seems to want to stay here for dinner?
"So be it girl." Da Hui is probably afraid of the food cooked by Steward Yuan.
To be honest, he was also scared.
Wen Nuan: "..."
This person really doesn’t know what polite pretense is?
"Then Master, please wait a moment." Wen Nuan was no longer entangled, and she had promised to give the big bad wolf and Xiao Hei some good food.
She turned around and went to work.
First Wen Nuan started boiling water, so she could prepare to deal with a few pheasants caught by the eagle.
Then she picked some vegetables and washed the vegetables with the herbs she picked in the morning.
At this time, the water also finished boiling. Wen Nuan was about to pour water from the big iron pot into the wood basin and start scalding chicken feathers.
Nalan Jinnian, don’t know when he came over, pulled her away: "I’m here!"
He was really worried that her small body would pour the hot water from the pot onto herself.
Wen Nuan just wanted to refuse his help.
But despite the inconvenience of only being able to use one hand, she saw him picking up a rag, then grasping one ear of the iron pan, lifting the whole pot of water, and then pouring it into the wood basin.
Well, someone can use one hand better than her two hands.
"Thank you. Master, go and sit down! I can do the rest."
Nalan Jinnian did not refuse.
The stove in Wen Nuan's home was temporarily built in a corner of the yard. Do not to mention a wall, there was not even a roof, so as she worked, Nalan Jinnian could see everything.
Nalan Jinnian just sat like this, watching her work quietly.
At this time, the courtyard door opened, and a voice called out to Wen Nuan: "Sister Nuan, we have gathered a lot of snails and come back! Everybody's hungry for lunch. Are you ready - ”
The second half of Wen Hou's sentence was cut off when he suddenly saw the appearance of man and a wolf standing in the yard.
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?" Wen Hou looked wary.
